now, im not saying you didnt, seeing as ive never met you, nor do i know your story. And im also not saying your doctor is a liar, but i personally dont believe that weed is able to make you overdose off six joints.
to me, i think your doctor overexaggerated and said you almost overdosed, seeing as there is no overdose limit that is strictly set, because no one, until this report, had ever reportedly overdosed on MJ. I myself have smoked quite a bit in a sitting before, and even in one day, and sure i felt horrible, and never before had i ever really turned down an opportunity to smoke, but that time it was too much, and i did actually pass it up, and i also felt like i was about to die, but i was fine. And i feel that after a while yes your brain will stop functioning normally just like as with any other substance you could do, or ingest, such as water, and even oxygen. and that you would most likely pass out and not be able to smoke anymore before you are in danger of overdosing, and even then, you would have to smoke more while you passed out to overdose. Maybe they were keeping you in the hospital for a week for evaluation of your condition, you may had been pretty worn out from the smoking and the partying, or wanted to see what your mental state was like, and didnt tell you to your face that they were analyzing you for risk factors such as suicide, as is common with cases of "overdoses."
Im not trying to sound like i dont believe you, but there are a few different reasons why they did what they did, and said what they said, that arent linked to any actual danger from overdosing. The body, especially of younger people, is very resiliant to damage, especially with such benign chemicals as THC and the other chemicals in weed. I feel you are more likely to overdose, or just overload your body on those other chemicals, the tars, and toxins released, than the psychoactive chemicals, meaning that other forms of smoking are safe, but that you have to watch your intake of the other substances.

I get the feeling that Smudge was taking the piss.
I am guessing but the hahaha at the end of his post meant he was joking. :thumbsup:
As for this 4 year old story ,it's time to let it die , it's already been proven to be complete and utter tosh.

Sounds like a lot there are a lot of folks who want to believe what they want to believe and to heck with the rest of it. I've seen animals die of cannabis overdose.....personally.....myself......own eyes....etc.....
Tons of people love to think cannabis is completely harmless.......of course it's not.....but it makes them feel better about themselves using it to think it is.
There's also some sort of ridiculous argument that because it's a plant it can't be harmful.
Tell that to these toxic plants: oleander, wild mushrooms, foxglove etc etc etc.....

Not that those figures matter in the slightest in the eyes of stupid laws.

I do not believe it to be "harmless" BUT
I do know it is impossible to OD on ganja.

If it were at all possible to OD on pot I would've been dead years ago, it is not possible and that is that.
Jeeeeezzzz some folks are true alarmists.:mad:

You prove my point exactly psychocat. ;)
Man dies from THC poisoning
And rare.......I'm not at ALL saying its common........just not impossible as some folks would prefer to believe.
Billion what makes me REALLY chuckle is that so many ganja users scream long and loud about "thier side" of the story but react in exactly the same closed minded way to news they dont like as those they point the finger at.
Pot calling the kettle black imo.

It is impossible !
You could simply never consume the volumes needed to OD therefore
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OD ON WEED !
Believe me when I tell you that in over 30 years of toking with some of the most hardcore tokers alive , neither I nor any of my many friends have ever suffered or even heard of anyone suffering an OD of ganja.
At the very worst one or two of them have experienced the uncomfortable sensation of what is commonly known as a "whitey", so called because of the deathly shade of white suffers of the dreaded "whitey" turn just before heading to the toilet to puke. ;)
I challenge anyone here to find me one certified death caused by a cannabis OD.
As my old man was fond of saying "it's fuckin' cobblers"! :D

Aloha WH.
"Personally" "Own eyes"!:wtf:?
Back up, and run that by me again, please.
I usually skip on by allegations, inuendos, assertations and wild claims.
But, when someone I respect and admire, says something that important, I'm all ears! er, eyes!:eek:
Last credible info that I read was a government study that tried to overdose dogs.
Gave them an I.V. of THC in ethanol. Kept upping the dosage until they ran into the soluability issue,
Dogs died from an ethanol O.D. .
They just couldn't get enough THC, etc. into them.
You just can't drop a bomb like that and fade into the night.
I gotta have some details please.
Or did I just read that wrong?
Confused Weeze.
